Code Maps and New Nomenclature Provide Unique Identifiers

With the release of the VUE software, VEMCO has adopted new naming conventions for transmitters and Code Maps. These names are meant to provide a unique identifier that conveys all the information necessary for the receiver to correctly detect a VEMCO tag. Unique identifiers will lessen confusion in the field created by the current nomenclature and help ensure that receivers are configured properly at deployment.

We also anticipate that as technology evolves, we will be able to offer new and advanced coding techniques which will not fit within the current nomenclature.

During the transition period, all VEMCO transmitter datasheets will be updated to contain these new names along with the old naming conventions. Note that the new VUE software uses only the new naming conventions.

The table below shows the list of currently supported transmitters with their new and old style names. Note that all VEMCO receivers, new and old, will continue to be able to detect VEMCO tags regardless of whether they are using old or new nomenclature.

As always, VEMCO receivers must be configured with a proper Code Map to correctly detect VEMCO tags. For more information, check out www.vemco.com/maps.php.
